TheO vigilant can deflect the evil intentions rife in the everyday world of people. But we know no remedy for the emptiness that remains after death’s grim harvest ; For its pain is etched on our hearts, and its memory is a curse to be borne by the living. Aroha turns the wise words you leave behind to gravestones around which the people will gather to mourn and remember. Thus, although you, our elders, may pass into the night, your flesh to corrupt and fade, Yet you speak still. And we cling to your sacred teachings, generation upon living generation, These few feeble words too thin to convey our love and gratitude for the legacy you have bequeathed us, your living faces. Let what follows be a cloak that keeps warm your voices and safe your contributions to this troubled world. Rest now, in peace.

    2018 SPNHC + TDWG CONFERENCE COLLECTIONS AND DATA IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD 25 AUGUST - 1 SEPTEMBER, DUNEDIN, NEW ZEALAND 2018 SPNHC + TDWG CONFERENCE COLLECTIONS AND DATA IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD Conference Kia ora tātou, Organising Committee The local organising committee is delighted to welcome you to Dunedin and the 1st joint Local Reps: meeting of the Society of the Preservation Robert Morris of Natural History collections (SPNHC) and Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG). Nyssa Mildwaters We are particularly excited to host the 1st Emma Burns annual SPNHC meeting in the Southern Hemisphere and hope that this meeting is an opportunity for members of both SPNHC Rep: organisations to share knowledge Barbara Thiers and expertise. Though the theme of the conference TDWG Reps: ‘Collections and Data in an Unstable World’ Shelley James is particularly relevant to New Zealand, living Gail Kampmeier as we do in the shaky isles, it has a much wider scope in these times of uncertainty. Niels Klazenga We look forward to bringing people and James Macklin ideas together from all around the world who David Shorthouse share a common interest in Natural Science collections and the information generated Stan Blum from them. We believe that in times of William Ulate instability, collaboration is key to ensuring the well-being of our collections and their role in promoting the importance of the natural world. We hope that this meeting will act a catalyst for greater collaboration within the southern hemisphere and of course more widely. We wish to extend sincere thanks to our conference partners whose financial sponsorship has been instrumental in the organisation of this conference as well as to our colleagues on both the TDWG and SPNHC organising committees whose input and assistance has been greatly appreciated.

  • The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention
    The Future of Wikimedia and Why New Zealand Museums Should Pay Attention Susan Tolich On the 21st of May it was announced that Mike Dickison will be assuming the position as Aotearoa’s frst Wikipedia-at-large. Tis new role will entail several placements at GLAM institutions around the country where Dickison will act as a ‘Wikipedian in Residence.’ Tis position does not involve editing Wikipedia on behalf of the organisations but focuses on training staf in how to contribute and engage with all parts of Wikimedia and its editing community. Wikipedia is just one of the projects run by the non-proft Wikimedia Foundation; others include Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Troughout his career Dickison has had years of experience advocating for Wikipedia to be used in the GLAM sector and has hosted various events to improve the representation of New Zealand endemic species and female scientists on the site.1 While Dickson is the frst Wikipedian-at-large in New Zealand he is part of a much larger global movement which works towards creating a freely accessed ‘sum of all knowledge.’ Wikimedians have partnered with GLAM institutions around the world since 2010 with the mission of ‘connecting audiences to open knowledge, ideas and creativity on a global scale.’2 Other Wikipedian-in-residence projects have ranged from creating documentary photography of Carpathian folk lore, to upskilling librarians in the Ivory Coast to be able to promote their heritage using Wikimedia platforms. It was eforts such as these that also delivered Te Metropolitan Museum 1 Mike Dickison, “New Zealand Wikimedian at large,” Giant Flightless Bird (Blog), 21 May 2018, http://www.giantfightlessbirds.com/2018/05/new-zealand-wikipedian-at-large/ 2 Katherine Maher and Loic Tallon, “Wikimedia and the Met: a shared digital vision,” Medium, 20 April 2018, https://medium.com/freely-sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/wikimedia-and -the-met-a-shared-digital-vision-f91b59eab2e9.

In contemporary society Māori come in all different sizes, shapes, colours, social conditions, cultural affiliations, religions and opinions. Given this diversity there are thus some complex and often controversial issues involved in determining who should be able to qualify as being Māori. Despite this complexity the law sets out who can qualify as being ‘Māori’ in one clear and concise sentence.

Wikipedia is the 8th-most-visited website in the world, and the only non-profit in the top 10. Wikipedia articles are in the first few search results of any topic, if not the first result. English Wikipedia has 6 million articles, and is one of 300 different language Wikipedias, some of also with millions of articles. Combined with other Wikimedia Foundation projects, like the free image library WikiCommons and the open database Wikidata, Wikipedia is part of the information infrastructure of the world. Anyone can edit Wikipedia, and the articles are written by volunteers; currently, about 250,000 dedicated editors (Wikipedians) around the world. Despite the lack of an editorial board, the coverage is usually very accurate, sometimes amazingly so, and there are teams of volunteers and software “bots” that check the articles for accuracy and swiftly remove vandalism. Since it was launched in 2001, Wikipedia has been a great example of the power of collaboration and crowdsourcing.
